United States,

residing at nel, in the county of Benton and State certain new and and Il do declare the following description of I invention, reference beinghad to the figures of reference marked thereon, a part oi thisspecification.

holding articles steadily while be- 1 lmchmeI-y) th inventlon which themachinery and the drill-spindle 5 thereof 15 mounted, 4 indicating adrill held in the spindle. It will be understood that drill-pressesusually include a table for supporting the work and it is usuallymounted on the column 2 and may be swung around on th d flL hil b i g- Ifrom below the drill or removed from the 1 column when desired, and suchtable being I well known is not illustrated herein; or in l is designeddrill-presses some cases a table may be mounted removably on an arbor 5that is mounted on the column 2 so as to be adjustable vertically or toswing about the column. When drilling holes in wheel tires on thewheels, or forming tenons on the ends of wheel spokes, the wheel isplaced on the arbor 5 so as to move rotatively thereon without beingfastened thereto. in the illustrations a hub 6 of a wheel 7 is shown onthe arbor with the tire 8 under the drill 4, and bolt holes 9 have beendrilled in the tire. In performing such work it is desirable to hold thewheel steadily so that the drill will work smoothly and reliably and notcatch in the holes being drilled, and for such purposes the improvedtool has peculiar advantages.

The invention comprises two housings 10 and 10 adapted to be suitablyattached to the base member 1 at one side of the column 2 orobviouslymay be adapted to be mounted on the column if desired, a swivel-head 11having truimions 12 and 12 mounted in the housings, and an arm 13 ofsuitable length having an end 13 swiveled in the swivel head 11, sothatthe arm which comprises a portion of the main part of the tool maybe on by machinery, but without requirto be clamped or otherwise sethatrequired considerable operation thereof; a further ob ect holder 1quickly operated, and and economical 111 use.

with a drill-press, or other maand the invention consists fur 1n thenovel parts, and in the combina elevation of a handpower drill-presstool in operative posimentary top plan view of the improved tool;adjusted rotatively as occasion may require, Fig. 3, a longitudinalsectional view on the f said arm having two guide-bars 14 and 14 line AAin Fig. 2; Fig. l, a longitudinal l formed thereon with a guide-way 15between sectional view on the line BB in Fig. 3; them, the guide-barshaving guide-ways 16 Fig. 5, a perspective view of one of the adand 16respectively therein, and the ends of the guide-bars have a boss 17formed 1 site side of 4,

thereon that stands off at one side of the plane of the arm and extendsacross the guide-way 15. A jaw-bar 18 provided with a vise-jaw 19 ismounted adjustably in the guide-way 15, and has a square guide-bolt 20mounted therein that extends into the guide-ways 16 and 16 to assist inguiding and retaining the jaw-bar between the guidebars, the bolt havinga head 20 on one end thereof engaging the guide-bar 14 at the outer sidethereof, the opposite end of the bolt having a. screw threaded end 21 onwhich is a thumb-nut 22 for binding the bolt to the guide-bars, the boltbeing loose in the jaw-bar 18. The jaw-bar 18 is provided also with aguide-block 23 that is secured thereto and extends into the guide-' ways16 and 16 to assist in guiding and retaining the jaw-bar so that, aswill be seen, the jaw-bar extends under the boss 17 and may be adjustedso as to change the position of the jaw 19 toward. or from theswivelhead 11 which supports the arm or main part of the tool.

A lever 24 having a handle 24-. on one end thereof has its opposite endbifurcated so as to form two guide-bars 25 and 25 with the guide-way 26between them, the guidebars having ears 27 and 27 formed on their endsand which stand off at one side of the plane of the lever and areconnected to the boss 17 by a pivot 28. A vise-j aw 29 has a guide-plate30 formed thereon that engages the guidebars 25 and 25' and has also aguide-block 31 that extends into the guideway 26, the guide-block beingprovided with a clamp bolt 32 on which is a washer 33 that engages theguide-bars, a thumb -nut 3a being arranged on the clamp bolt forsecuring the vise-jaw tightly to the guide-bars of the lever andpermitting the vise-jaw 29 to be adjusted toward or from the stationaryvise-j aw 19, the vise-j aw 29 being movable in operation by reason ofits attachment to the swinging lever.

In practical use the work to be drilled is placed under drill l of thedrill-press and supported in any desirable manner so that the drill maybe lower at the point at which the operation is to take place, whether ahole is to be drilled or a hollow drill is to be used to form a tenon onthe end of a spoke, and then the arm 13 is swung into position eitherwith the pivet 28 horizontal, as shown, or vertical, as may be requiredin some cases, and then the jaw 19 is adjusted so as to enage one sideof the work, after which the jaw 29 is adjusted so as to engage theoppothe work wl'ien the lever 24: is approxima ly in alinement with thearm 13, so that by a slight )ressure on the handle 24 the work may besecurely clamped while being operated on, being held by the hand of theoperator. After performing an operation and the shifted or removed andother work placed in position, the lever 24lmoved about its pivot 28 sothat the jaw 29 is quickly moved away from the work, thus releasing it,and then may be as quickly moved again so as to clamp and hold the workrepeatedly, thus saving a large amount of time usually required inhandling wrenches for manipulating clamp bolts or similar devices.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is-- l. Awork-hold er including a housing, an arm connected pivotally to thehousing, a vise-jaw mounted adjustably on the arm, a lever pivoted onthe arm, and a vise-jaw mounted adjustably on the lever.

2. A work-h older including a housing, an arm supported pivotally by thehousing and having a guide thereon, a vise-jaw mounted adjustably on theguide, a lever pivoted on the arm and having a guide thereon, and avise-jaw mounted adjustably on the guide of the lever.

8. A, work-holder including a housing, a swivel -head supportedpivotally by the housin an arm swiveled on the swivel-head, a vise-jawmounted. adjustably on the arm, a lever pivoted to the arm and providedwith a handle, and a vise-jaw mounted adjustably on the lever.

A work-holder comprising a housing, an arm connected pivotally to thehousing and having boss thereon that stands off from the plane of thearm, a vise -jaw mounted adjustably on the arm adjacent to the boss, alever pivoted to said boss, and a vise-jaw mounted. on the lever.

A work-holder comprising a housing, an arm connected pivotally to thehousing and having a boss thereon that stands off from the plane of thearm, a vise-jaw mounted on the arm, a lever pivoted to the boss, avise-jaw mounted adjustably on the lever, and means for securing thevise-jaw rigidly to the lever.
